Juvenile plants begin with compact heart shaped leaves, while mature growth can develop a more pronounced peltate form, where the petiole attaches inward from the edge of the leaf rather than directly at the sinus.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe foliage has a subtle blue green to silvery green appearance, with softly defined venation that gives the leaves an understated texture rather than the high contrast veins associated with many velvet Anthuriums.
